...carried on by President McCord. 42, a jowly Texan who manages to be both a respected theologian and a top-drawer administrator. He himself teaches two courses-and is famed among students for his gestures: "the punt" (cupped hands suggesting firmness) and "peeling the cabbage" (when he appears to chop ideas from his head). He has strengthened an already good faculty by adding such scholars as Old Testament Expert James Barr of the University of Edinburgh and Pastoral Psychologist Seward Hiltner of the University of Chicago, brought in language machines to speed student learning of Hebrew and Greek. Most...
...booming: last fall they enrolled 25% of all U.S. college freshmen, and may enroll half of them by 1970. California leads the U.S. with 69 (eventually to be 100) such colleges, almost all of them controlled locally on a school-district base, like grade and high schools. They can chop the eventual cost of a B.A. by some $5,000 because tuition is free and the students live at home.

Since then, Congress has repeatedly extended the life of the act, and in 1958 it gave the President the power to chop tariffs, under certain conditions, by as much...
...family stove was fueled with stray lumps of coal that Knocko and Dannie picked up in the railroad yards, and John's meager earnings were supplemented by a "pauper's basket" from the welfare department. "I had to go down to the Chardon Street welfare home and chop wood so we could get the basket," says Knocko. "Those baskets didn't have any oranges or grapefruit or nuts in 'em. It was a yard of dried fish and a bag of potatoes and maybe a little bag of onions." Friends still recall seeing young John McCormack...
